[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello, I really needed some guidance. My son tested for the NNAT in 1st grade and got only 119 (88th Percentile). He is yet to test the CoGAT in 2nd grade, but I am struggling with the decision on [b]whether we should have him take a NNAT retest at GMU or not in September 2015[/b]. Or shall we wait for January 2016 until after we have her CoGAT scores? The parent referral deadline is usually February 3rd or so and so was confused as to what I should do...

I know he would do extremely well in AAP but I know he may not make it to the pool on his NNAT result. I would sincerely appreciate some advice. Also does anyone have an experience of getting their child into AAP with a similar NNAT score?

Thanks much![/quote]

Do not go to GMU to take the NNAT. You are better off (a) planning on a parent referral, no matter what the CogAT scores are next year and (b) if you are doing testing, planning for the WISC instead of the NNAT. Good luck.[/quote]

You need more data and it's way too early in the process to stress this much.  AAP admission is a marathon, not a sprint, and the AAP selection process won't even officially start until early 2016.  Also, I can't believe that even if a second NNAT is much higher it would be taken seriously so soon after the first-- it would look like he was prepped.  Wait for the COGAT and see if he is in pool based on that.  My DS had a lowish NNAT (low 120s, I think), but high COGAT, and was in pool and selected based on that.  If he isn't in pool, talk to his teacher about whether to parent refer.  It could be that AAP just isn't right, though no parent wants to believe it. If you parent refer, there is a good chance he will be denied, so consider  getting a good private psychologist to administer a WISC to include if it is strong. There are past threads about which psychologists are good at this.  GL[/quote]
